Lorraine and Loose Women will both be missing from screens today (March 9) as ITV begins a major shake-up to its daytime schedule.
Usually, viewers who tune into ITV during the week can rely on a very familiar routine. The morning kicks off with news and debate before moving into lifestyle programming and daytime chat shows.
However, that routine has been disrupted today as both Lorraine and Loose Women have been pulled from the schedule entirely.
So, why is this the case? And when will the shows be back on? Here’s everything you need to know.
Why Lorraine and Loose Women are not on today
Since the start of 2026 Lorraine Kelly’s show was changed to be 30 minutes long. However, in a surprising shake-up, it won’t air at all. It comes days after Ben Shephard had to step in to take her place at hosting the show, as she was unwell.
The schedule change comes as ITV begins its annual coverage of the famous horse racing event, the Cheltenham Festival.
